Chris Hegardt se reúne con Lionel Messi una década después: un encuentro muy esperado

Desde el debut de Lionel Messi en los Estados Unidos, muchos jugadores rivales se han acercado a la superestrella argentina para un apretón de manos, una foto o incluso una firma durante los apretones de manos posteriores al partido. Sin embargo, un apretón de manos posterior al juego se destacó por encima del resto.

Chris Hegardt de Charlotte FC fue sacudido por él.

Hegardt se unió a la Fundación Make-a-desire hace diez años cuando tenía 11 años, luchando contra un cáncer de hígado, y su deseo era conocer a la leyenda del FC Barcelona Lionel Messi.

 

Pudo cumplir su sueño viajando a Barcelona, ​​donde acompañó a Messi en el campo. Tuvo otra oportunidad de encontrarse con Messi diez años después.

Antes del juego, Hegardt le dijo a la estación de televisión FOX5 de San Diego: “Es bastante fantástico, en ese momento de mi vida no podría haber imaginado que en 11 años estaría jugando contra él. Así que creo que es solo un cumplido que me guste lo que he hecho en mi vida y la tenacidad que mostré, pero también que ahora juegue en la MLS.

“Nunca sabes a quién vas a conocer y cómo los vas a encontrar de nuevo, así que es genial”, continuó en la misma entrevista.

Hegardt ya ha compartido una historia esclarecedora sobre la reconexión con un jugador de fútbol profesional. Durante su enfermedad, Sacha Kljestan, miembro de la Selección Nacional de Estados Unidos en ese momento, lo visitó en el hospital.

Tuvo la oportunidad de intercambiar camisetas con Kljestan, un compañero atleta profesional, después del partido de Charlotte FC contra LA Galaxy el año pasado. También marcó la entrada de Hegardt en la fuerza laboral.

En una entrevista con ESPN, Hegardt comentó: “Recordaré ese momento para siempre porque miraré mi pared dentro de 35 años y diré: ‘Recuerdo cuando intercambié camisetas con Sacha Kljestan'”.
